 Coastal areas are more densely populated  The Amazon Basin area has very low population density

 High population densities  Main cities; -Rio De Janeiro -Sao Paulo -Brasilia

 16 th century coastal areas were settled by Portugese colonists.  Trading towns were set up there  These grew into huge industrial cities  Portugese settlers also established large plantations along the coast.  African slaves were forced to work these plantations and grow cash crops

 Home to indigenous tribes  Only 7% of Brazilian population live in this area  Hot, wet equatorial climate  Tropical rainforests  European colonists did not want to live in this area (Green Hell)  In recent years this region has come under threat

 Timber valuable (eg; mahogany- furniture)  Natural resources (mining)  Land cleared; -Cattle ranching -Soya plantations -Industrial plants -Road building

 With reference to one country you have studied, describe one region with a high population density and one region with a low population density. Explain the reasons for the population variations.
